As I mentioned in this post, Tessa’s current room has been the nursery for all four of our kids. I painted it when I was pregnant with Claire, and it remained that green color for each and every child. I feel like it didn’t look quite this bad in person? 🤷🏽♀️ Regardless, I knew I would Read More
Tessa’s Room
Great Grandma Margaret
Today, Ben’s Grandma Margaret is walking the streets of Heaven with her Savior. Her body will be placed in the ground after 96 years on this earth, but her soul is at peace forever. The times I saw Margaret smile the biggest was when she was watching the kids. She always wanted to hold them Read More
School Projects
The week before everything turned upside down with Corona, I mentioned to Ben about how I wished the kids would do more projects at school where they had to make things and present them. I remember doing all kinds of paper mache/ mobiles/ dioramas/ character dress ups, etc when I was in school. The only Read More
Easter 2020
As I mentioned on Monday, Easter was a little rough this year. There were still many moments of joy, but it’s hard to do something so differently than what you’re used to. With that being said, however, the kids had the best day ever and Tessa cried when it was bedtime because “she didn’t Read More

Friday Favorites
Favorite picture: Just two girls practicing social distancing. Favorite kid quote: Claire, as we were watching a movie that showed a lot of people standing really close together, “Well, they are NOT in quarantine.” Favorite clothing item: I have both of these shirts, and they get worn a lot. The “Be Kind” tee was actually Read More
Thankful Thursday
I so enjoyed reading what everyone was feeling thankful for last week- and it’s so good for my mind and my soul to just sit and think about the GOOD things that are happening right now. So here we go again with another round “Thankful Thursday”. 1. A summerish day. Tuesday was beautiful. It was Read More
Let’s Look: Easter
Today I’m linking up with Shay and Erika to take a look at how we do Easter at our house. Easter is going to look a bit different this year, right? I mean…do we still get dressed up with nowhere to go? 🤔 Our weather looks terrible on Sunday (as in, the possibility of snow terrible😑), Read More
